Title: Packet switching system
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 1989-06-15
Abstract: A packet switching system has at least first 
and second packet level control devices (10₁, 10₂) 
and first and second frame level control devices (20₁, 
20₂). When a data packet (DT) is received at the 
first frame level control device via a communication 
line which is connected thereto, the first frame level 
control device disassembles the data packet and 
transfers only a header portion (PH) of the data packet 
to the first packet level control device, thereby a data 
portion (UD) of the data packet being transferred 
directly to the second frame level control device. The 
second frame level control device assembles the data 
portion received from the first frame level control 
device and the corresponding header portion received via 
the first and second packet level control devices, and 
transmits the assembled data packet on a communication 
line which is connected to the second frame level 
control device.

IPC: B65B43/18
Filed: 1989-09-12
Abstract: A rotating carousel and bag handling apparatus (10) comprising a 
rotating carriage plate (12) driven by a motor and carrying a 
plurality of trays (38) filled with bags (40). The trays are each 
maintained in a stable, level position by a timing collar, belt (68) 
and pulley (64) assembly connected to each tray. As successive bag 
trays are rotated to a pickup position adjacent a bag handling 
mechanism, a brake assembly (92) momentarily stops the motion of the 
bag carousel sufficient for a bag handling arm (106) to pivot down over 
one of the bag trays, and for a plurality of bag grippers (112) to grip 
and hold the top bag in that tray. The bag handling arm then 
pivots back upwardly and away from the tray carrying the bag onto 
a bag support assembly displaced over the conveyor belt (200) and 
mounted on a pair of rocker arms (182), with the longitudinal edge of 
the bag being positioned adjacent to a side retaining wall (212) on the 
conveyor belt. As the bag is released, the rocker arms and bag 
support assembly pivot away from the side retaining wall of the 
conveyor belt, allowing the bag to slide off the bag support 
assembly and lay flat on the conveyor belt in a spaced-apart or 
overlapping relationship to a previously transferred bag.
